The height argument is overblown. A good qb will manipulate the pocket and open up throwing lanes with his feet. 
 

It’s exactly why Bryce Young should be the number one pick no matter what. His ability to move within the pocket to extend plays is something not even the most physically gifted qbs can do. 

The height of Young is a problem.. But the weight is even more of a problem.. Not to many sub 200 lb QB make it in the NFL or make it thru a season.. And he’s already dealing with injuries..

Get the man outside pocket the once in a while and he gets the job done.

No drive or down killing batted balls.

Why didn't they try to get Baker outside the pocket when they had that constant problem?

Because he couldn't get his footwork untangled or he just wasn't comfortable doing it?

P.J same height as Mayfield. What was the deal?

Yeah, size can be overblown as a problem but a lot of the smaller NFL QB's are built like RB's. Young is very, very slight. Much more like Robby Anderson than Murray or Wilson or Hurts.

Just even mentally picturing someone this size getting blindsided by a Julius Peppers or a Chandler Jones makes you wonder how they would avoid winding up in traction.

It's not just because he's outside the pocket. Offensive line technique can get defenders arms down and they weren't adjusting early on with Rhule here. I think the tandem of mcadoo and Wilks is 25 times what McAdoo and Rhule was.

I'd like to see Baker get another shot with Wilks as the head coach.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
